Selling a Program - HOW?

[PatrickRooks]

Hello all,
I'm a dedicated VB Programmer...

I have developed a great program and want to sell it.

The big thing is, I don't have the time or resources
to sell it by myself.

I want to sell my program to a bigger company, does anyone
know of any companies that might be interested in purchasing programs?

Thank you

It all depends on what your program does. If its accounting software talk to one of the big accounting firms, they may want to back you, so you can work on it more and make it fit thier needs...see what I mean.

Me too, I've created a program thats the dog *&!!o*£, but what to do with it? How do I go about the Shareware thing?

[PatrickRooks]

Currently my program is set up for shareware...

But, ya know, it would take some serious time to market this bad boy...

I have a website - auction-eye.com
got secure sockets
but i'm a college student, going back soon and don't have any time.

its a great program, but is really auction tracking based. so accounting firms, i don't think, would want to back it.

You can try uploading it on to http://www.download.com (as shareware) then hire people to do your work for you. I believe http://www.kagi.com does this.

Sell the program and idea to a company that could modify it and make an web-service.
